Tales of Insomnia is a collection of authentic oral horror stories, as sinister as they are didactic, from the central area of Chile. The eleven stories that make it up present a renewed sample of classic characters and scenarios of the Chilean popular tradition of terror: the arrival of the devil in the town, the night of San Juan, the curse of the unfortunate gift, the buried fortune, and others.
Brilliantly written, they take up the oral tradition of the horror story and effectively manage to scare even the bravest reader.
